great deal!!! Those will look nice!

1971BB427 · 10-14-2011, 09:05 AM

Nice wheels! Some polished stainless caps and rings would really set them off!

Heavy Evy · 10-17-2011, 09:22 PM

muuuuaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Heavy Evy · 10-17-2011, 09:24 PM

235-70-15 front and 255-70-15 rear. I don't know which center caps to get yet. I'm debating on moons, bowtie moons, bullets or spider caps. Any thoughts?

VA72C10 · 10-17-2011, 09:49 PM

Looks really good! Since you asked...I'd try bullets with bullet lug nuts and a small trim ring. That'd look sweet!

Average Joe · 10-20-2011, 12:23 AM

awesome!

Heavy Evy · 10-29-2011, 09:21 PM

Not much to update but I took some pics yesterday with my buddy's '69 buick wildcat. Two big ole rusty land yachts sharing war stories.

Heavy Evy · 12-24-2011, 12:25 AM

Not much to update on the burb except putting gas in it and checking the oil but I did buy this motor and tuned up my C20 last week.

gcburdic · 12-24-2011, 11:56 AM

is the new motor going in the burb?..what's the specs on it?

Heavy Evy · 12-31-2011, 12:44 AM

New motor is for...........something else its a crate 350 been rebuilt recently. Kid I got it from had in a 48 chev pick up no real reason for purchasing except it was a good deal.

Heavy Evy · 12-31-2011, 12:48 AM

Work was slow this week so I kept myself busy

Heavy Evy · 01-13-2012, 03:57 PM

I love brown boxes waiting for me on the the porch!

Got my caps for the new wheels.

Zane M · 01-16-2012, 10:03 AM

Looking good. I like the rolling resto threads.

Heavy Evy · 01-16-2012, 10:10 PM

Thanks no trailer queens here.
You'll probably see the old boat rolling down the road since you live in the same forsaken city as me.

I guess pics are in order for new caps...

gcburdic · 01-21-2012, 12:39 PM

that look saweet!!!

Heavy Evy · 02-13-2012, 10:50 PM

Been driving the hell out of my burb but no real wrenching going on cause l been working on my Nova but I narrowed down some things I got to get done. 1.Carb rebuilt or replacement. 2.Swap the 3.73's in rear for highway friendly 3.07's. 3.Swaybar for the front with poly bushings. I just need to get some decent weather and motivation and will be in business.

gcburdic · 02-14-2012, 09:24 AM

instead of 3.07's, have you thought about an overdrive transmission and keeping the 3.73's?

Heavy Evy · 02-14-2012, 12:26 PM

Everyday but I'm fighting the good fight to keep the th350. I don't need the 373s for power or towing so the 307s would be a good fit.

1971BB427 · 03-03-2012, 01:33 AM

Hey Heavy Evy!
Just saw your PM to me, and replied to it. Sorry I didn't see it before! Just in case the pic didn't work, here's a pic of the OT car:

Heavy Evy · 03-25-2012, 01:23 PM

Well gents I hope this never happens to any of you. I was going to lunch with a friend on Friday when half way there I see my burb wrapped around a tree. I was shocked (still am shocked) It had been stolen from my house and joy rided for about 10 mins. I stopped the person from fleeing the scene and delt with a bunch a clowny unprofessional cops. I tried to take it back home but they said they had to impound it. I really don't know what else to say except its been fun and I don't know if I'll ever find another one. This one was special.

19stepSide72 · 03-25-2012, 02:04 PM

That just turned my stomach. I hope that never happens to me. Sorry about your luck. Now what are you going to do with it? Y did they need to impound it, you own it? Pretty tough tree.

I have to get my truck sold and my burb in the garage....I fear the same results

VA72C10 · 03-25-2012, 02:51 PM
